Set within the theatre's pediment and carved fully in the round, a coat of arms consisting of a central circular shield with the royal device, flanked by a couchant lion and unicorn. As part of his redevelopment of Newcastle, Richard Grainger demolished the old theatre and constructed this grand neoclassical building as its replacement.
